Projects are partially defined by the presence of both a beginning and an end. Many organizations fail to identify a project's end point, often causing perception problems among customers. Projects should endwith a celebration . The key objective of the Close phase, and the "mini" close at the end of each iteration, is learning and incorporating that learning into the work of the next iteration or passing it on to the next project team.
